purchased content. This does not include any additional content you were
granted access
to.

Journal Archive and the Conference Proceedings Archive. The Journal Archive includes
the content published between 1960-1999 and the Conference Proceedings Archive
covers content published between 2000-2007. They are both available as a
one-time purchase or an annual subscription. For more information and pricing

Policies

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Interlibrary Loan is permitted to print format
(but not electronically). Single copies of individual articles may be
reproduced for distribution without charge to individual libraries of
not-for-profit, non-commercial organizations in accordance with fair usage
guidelines. Author reprints, commercial reprints and single issue sales in
print may be purchased in lieu of ILL. For further information, please see
reprints and permissions.

Use of Licensed Material

Academic institutions – teaching staff may reproduce
individual articles from licensed material for distribution to students
accredited to the Licensee.

Corporate and government institutions –
authorized users may print and/or download individual articles and other
individual items from searches of the licensed content for research and
regulatory purposes in the furtherance of the Licensee’s
business.

Post-cancellation

ASME’s post-cancellation policy ensures
institutional customers can retain access to all licensed material upon
cancellation of the license agreement. It is applicable to all institutional
customers with a signed license agreement. Access is subject to payment of an
annual access
fee.

The access fee supports the costs of hosting
content and related customer service. Access fees do not apply to customers
with a current license to the relevant publications.

License Agreements

ASME’s license agreement is a legal document
protecting the rights of our customers and ASME. Every customer is required to
sign a license agreement at the start of their license. Addendums may be used
to add additional publications to an agreement or to extend the license period,
or when policy changes are
required.

ASME’s license agreement includes terms
requested by libraries from the academic, corporate and government sectors.
Agreements have been developed to protect the rights of our customers and to
grant rights to use content in ways specific to an electronic resource and
closest to traditional print usage.

ASME works with consortia of various types and
sizes and welcomes discussion with all consortium managers.

A consortium should consist of at least five
member institutions, with a single point of contact for negotiations. The
consortium should sign one license agreement and pay through one invoice.

Each institution within the consortium will
need to allocate an account administrator who is responsible for setting up the
institution’s account and will receive any service communications.
COUNTER-compliant usage statistics are provided for each institution. ASME now
offers a consortia report based on COUNTER 3-compliant data.

Institutional customers have the option to
purchase individual articles, referred to as “pay-per-view” to provide access
to content not included in a site license. Full-text articles can be accessed
on http://www.asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
for seven days after purchase.

To purchase an article, simply click on the
full-text or PDF version of the article. If you do not have a site license to
that subscription or publication year, you will be presented with the option to
purchase the article at the bottom of the page. Please note: you will need to
register as a user of asme.org.

Author reprints, commercial reprints and
single issue sales are also available in print only. For further information,
please see reprints and permissions.

Shibboleth is an access management service that provides single sign-on protected resources.
It replaces the multiple user names and passwords necessary to access subscription-based content with a single user name and password that can be entered once per session.
It operates independently of a user's location or IP address.
If your institution uses Shibboleth authentication, please contact your site administrator to receive your user name and password.
